TIMES & SEISTTESTEE COLUMBUS. GEORGIA. ‘SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 10,^858^ President Making—the Crittenden Movement. In another column will be found a letter from gent disclosing the programme of the new fparty w ic to vanquish the Democracy in 1860. Some system ana concert in the arrangement are betrayed b 7 the ac a printed circular (for which this letter has 8 oneer ted) was first sent out.

They will coquette with old Mr. Crittenden until they get him and whatever strength he may be able to wield committed to their cause, and when the time for nomination comes, William n. Seward will run the race. By such devices they expect to give the new organization the ambiance of nationality, ut no sane man will doubt that it is the same old abolition horde marching under anew flag. It is noticeable 1 1a they call together all who are opposed to the present ad ministration, but deem it expedient not to erect a platform of principles. Prudent, very, but not ingenious’ It requires but little sagacity to see that, if in the con struction of a platform, their southern coadjutors should indiscreetly hint a desire for a plank to support our pecu liar institution,” the real object of the movement (to trans fer the government into'; abolition hands,) might have to be revealed. The chief grouud of their opposition to Mr. Buchanan’s Administration is his Kansas policy and especially his position in recommending the admission of Kansas with the Lecompton Constitution, fresh and breathing as it came to Congress. After their unrelenting warfare upon this measure, in which they were opposed by the whole South, and with the knowledge that their ha tred for our institutions has not abated one jot of its malig nity.to suppose that Southern men could be induced, under whatever profession, to place the government into their power, is to charge them with a degree of latuity or treach ery vilely slanderous of the Southern mind and heart. Hurry up Girls. A writer tsays the Augusta Dispatch,) has computed that a woman has lost half her chances of marriage at her twentieth year; at twenty three she has lost three-fourths ot her opportunties, and at twenty-six seven eighths of her chances are gone. 1860 will be letp year, that delightful season, when, by common consent, the lair sex can inti mate their preference. Look at the facts presented above and then improve the advantages of that year. Delays are dangerous. We do not know, by what rule this computation ha been made; but it is obvious that, as a point of beginning, we must have the definition ot the term “chance. It the lad of twenty, or the boy of twenty-five summers be com prised therein, we concede the rechoning is not destitute of all claim to truth/But if, as we contends man be not qual ified for the “holy state,” till he has acquired ,the moderate experience of thirty years, there can be no greater error in social statistics than is here proclaimed. We object also to the writer’s terminology. “Woman” is not applied to an individual of the sex before she attains the age ot .50 years. She is a girl until (then. An error, therfore was committed in beginning about three years too soon. Prop erly’ amended, the rule would stand thus. Half of her chances have fled at twenty three; three-fourths at twen ty-seven; seven-eighths at thirty; and the last eighth nev er, so long as there is a rusty old bachelor unprovided for. The New Bridge. Communication is now established.by the above means between the upper part of this city and Girard. /e walk ed across the Bridge this morning in order to be assured of the fact and can report that it appears to have been buil 1 in a very substantial manner. Mr. Wynn deserves credit for pushing the work to-its present state of progress in.the face of considerable difiiculty. We understand that about fifteen hundred dollars are necessary to build the railing, protect come of the wooden supports against danger from drift-wood and pay the outstanding debts. It is manifest ly the interest of wharehouse-men, merchants and prop erty holders in the upper portion of the city to have the bridge completed and relieved of these embarrassments. It affords much the nearest and best communication with all that portion of Alabama the produce from which now finds it way to the city through northern fcGirard and those who are interested should have a care that no im pediment be in the way when the fall business opens. We would suggest also that the road, between the river and the ridge beyond be put in better condition. News Advertisement. Attention is invited to the Adverticement in this paper of an administrator’s sale, to take place on the first Mon day in November next,oia plantation in day, Go., in this State, belonging to the estate ot the late Col. W r m. loney deceased, also ot a plantation, together with grist and saw mills for sale by Samuel D. Harp in Chattahoochee Coun ty, also, of a plantation, conveniently situated, for sale by Mr. M. Williams in Chambers Cos., Ala. Senator Crittenden.—This distinguished individual in returning home to his constituents, says the 1 uskegee Republican, was received with great eclat in all the ‘cities through which he passed. Occupying as he does a central position in the Union, he views with a patriot’s eye the struggle going on between the two sections, nor is he particularly allied to one or the other. He has already been nominated by some of the border States as a candi date for the Presidency in 1860, but he will probably never reach that position. He is not strongly enough imbued with freesoil sentiments to suit his Northern admirers, and too muck so to meet the views of his Southern friends. A Large Encampment.—The military of the State o Mississippi had a grand encampment on the ‘.Race Course near Natchez, on the Ist, 2d and 3d days of July, under command of General Quitman, The desired object of the Encampment was instruction and the fpromotion of famil iarity rigid drill and discipline incident to theten- 1 ted field, and the bringing togevher in one mass, for bette r acquaintance and more intimate and friendly relations the citizen soldiery. Death of Martin Kosta. —Martin Kosta, the Hunga rian, who was rescued from the Austrian authorities in 1853, by Commander Ingram of the United States Navy, died recently in r very indigent circumstances, on a sugar plantation, near the city of Guatemala. Yellow Fever.—The New Orleans Bee in estimating the chances that its city will be scourged with the Yellow Fever this Summer, thus remarks: “We have had the fever and have escaped it during the dryest and wettest seasons. We have had it and escaped it when the river was remarkably high, and when it had receded to an unusual extent. We have (been free from fever under apparently the most favorable conditions for its development,, and have suffered severely from the scourge when the state of the atmosphere and of the city seemed to guarantee us against a visitation. All that we can do, therefore, in the premises, is to conclude, with some show of probability, that when we pass through the first half of July with no appearance of an epidemic, the probabilities are great that the summer will be healthy.— This is just our position now.” Corn Prospect.— The Cassville Standard of the Bth inst., says:— Several .ground-wettiDg rains have fallen in this section within the past few days, and we have’nt had a good night’s sleep in some time—in consequence of the noise made by the corn growing. Our farmers ought to go to building cribs, if they expect to house all the corn that will be made. Tanning an Elehhant—They are tanning an ele phant’s hide at Cincinnati. It was purchased by a farrier in {Wisconsin, f where the animal, which belonged to a menagerie, died. The freieht to Cincinnati cost sls. It is an immense hide, so bulky that the tanners handle it w’ith great difficulty. It is nearly two inches thich, and lull a year and a half will be required to ‘tan it thoroughly. It will be a curiosity when it is tanned and dressed. Notwithstanding the very liberal offer made by the French Emperor to Prof. Agassiz, he, has determined to remain in, America. It is not true that* he has gone over to take the Emperor’s offer finto consideration. He does not feel able to leave his engrossing studies long enough even to make a visit to his aged motherin Switzerland. News from Camp Scott—Advance Into Salt Lake City, &c. A despatch from St. Joseph, dated the 28th ult., by the United States express to Boonville, says— the Salt Lake mail arrived here to-day, bringing dates from Salt Lake City to the 12th instant.- General Johnston was to start for the city on the 13th with three thousand men, in columns. The army will enter the valley via Soda Springs, on Bear river. Colonel Hoffmanhad arrived at Camp Scott, with his men and officers in good health and spirits. Captain Marcy’s command had arrived from New Mexico, with 1,500 loose mules. Commissioners McCulloch and Powell had start ed for the city in company with Gov. Cumming and Postmaster Morrell. Col. Hartnett, Secretary of the Territory, left Camp Scott on 10th instant for Salt Lake City. , The mail party passed about three hundred Mor mons, with horses and mules, all well armed ; but they would give no information as to where they were going or what they intended doing. Fifty Mormons who had escaped from the valley were met at Platte Bridge, wending their way to the States. Twelve companies of cavalry or dragoons were met near Fort Laramie, and they had passed Gen. Harney and Col. May encamped on the Pawnee fork of the Little Blue. A large number of troops were encamped on the Big Blue. Colonel Morri son and his command were at Little Blue. The mail party also met supply trains between the Fourth and Fifth Crossing of the Sweet Water.—- Colonel Saunders was at South Pass, and was on the eve of starting on the exploration of the wagon road from that place to Fort Hall. The report that the Mormons had removed their families to Provo is confirmed. It is not known whether Brigham accompanied the Mor mons or remained in the city. The Mormons have not gone either to Sonora or to the Russian Poss essions, as anticipated by the authorities at Wash ington but would do so next spring, if any but Mormons are placed there to govern them. Wm. McCann, agent of Messrs. Russell and Ma jors, was drowned on the 17th instant, iu Laramie Creek. A great many deserters from the army were met on the route. The streams were all very high and rising. _ The Gov. of Missouri Whipped.—Letter from the man who Whipped Him. —The Fulton (Mo.) Telegraph has published the following letter from Vandiver, who is certified to be a man of honor and veracity: Eureka, Boone Cos., Jane 12. Having been requested to make a correct state ment of a difficulty which occurred between my self and Governor Stewart, I do so very reluctantly, believing that the matter can possibly terminate in no glory, benefit, or profit to me, but is rather a source of regret and annoyance. While in Jeffer son City some three weeks, since I entered a house known as Smidt’s bier saloon, and there met Gov. Stewart. In the course of conversation with him* I spoKC of the pardon of O’Blennis, and charged that he (Stewart) had secured American votes in St. Louis on a promise of pardon to O’Blennis, provided he was elected. This Stewart pronounced a “damn ed lie,” when I struck him, knocked him down, and afterwards struck him several times, until pull ed off by the bystanders. We then washed our faces and hands, made friends, and concluded to keep the difficulty a secret. But it has been told by some, (not by me,) and I feel at liberty, inas much as you have been assailed, to give the facts. Stewart was very drunk, and I was myselt drink mg‘ A. I. VANDIVER. Sun-Stroke.— Our exchanges continue to report fatal results from the “heated term,” especially in the Northern cities. The Nashville Banner gives the following receipt for its cure, which is said to be efficacious: Chloroform 1 dralmi. Camphor 3 “ Dissolve. Dose from 10 to 15 drops every hour or two, until the pulse becomes full and strong. Chloroform possesses the remarkable quality of dissolving three times its weight of camphor—the only solvent that has any such capacity. The Heroine of Tamfico. —Mrs. Chase, the he roine of a brilliant exploit in the Mexican war, is in Washington, and the States thus describes her adventure: The scene was at Tampico during the Mexican war. Our fleet, under Commodore Conner, was waiting for a favorable opportunity to take the town, when a boat sent by our heroine, came off, bearing the plans of the fortifications, and a mes sage that the American flag would be hoisted at the moment Tampico could be easily taken. Our heroine|was, I must say, iu a very perilous situa tion. Tampico was full of the enemy, and her house in charge of treacherous servants, who watched her every movement. The Mexican forces were withdrawing from the city. Mounting quickly to the roof, she unfurled the American flag. The manoeuvre was discovered by the enemy in the streets, and a party was sent to pull down the flag. They approached the staff, but our hero ine defied them to tear that banner from its place until she had died in its defense. Pistols and swords were pointed at her breast; faces full of deadly hate scowled upon her ; but the courage of a woman conquered. The Mexicans were cowards, and the flag continued floating in the breeze. The signal was seen by Commodore Conner; the fleet stood in for the town, and Tam pico was taken. A Rather Bad Wound. —The New Orleans Picayune, of the 3d inst., gives the following le port of the victim of the late duel in that city; We understand that Mr. Gibbons, who was wounded in the late hostile meeting at the “Oaks,” was so much better this morniug that his physi cian permitted his wife to see him. The bullet passed entirely through his body, just above the heart, and though the internal hemorliage was very profuse, the blood escaped from the cavity of the Idlest through the bullet hole in his back, there by greatly increasing the chances of his recov ery. THE “CRITTENDEN-AMENDMENT” party; The Programe Developed. The Originator of the Movement Discovered. Washington, June 23, 1858, Dear Sir : Please destroy the printed letter I sent you at the request of on the 11th instant, and receive the enclosed as a substitute.— The reasons for this may appear obvious to you ; if not, you will probably see- ere long, when he will explain. I have not had the pleas ure of hearing from you. Very truly yours, N SARGENT. Washing-ton, June 23, 1858. Mv Dear Sir : It has been deemed advisable by u number of gentlemen latelv here from different quarters of the Union, opposed to the present ad ministration, to open a correspondence with promi nent individuals in various States whose general sentiments accord with theirs, in order to inter change opinions, learn their views as to the reor ganization of parties, ascertain what public senti ment is in their respective localities in reference to the course to be pursued in the contest for the presidency in 1860, and to draw out, and to give expression to that sentiment through the channels of the press. . . They are of the opinion that, without giving nationality to the opposition party, by whatever name it may be called—though the term “Union Party” is deemed appropriate—it will be idle to think of defeating the party now in power in 1860; and that such nationality cannot be given to it if its candidate shall be an ultra sectional man.— Such a man could only receive the support of the distinctive organization to which he has belonged; and it is clear that such a nomination would drive the democratic party into unanimity, whereby a democratic President would be elected by even a larger majority than Mr. Buchanan obtained. The questions may suggest themselves to you, as they have to us, can a national party be formed of sufficient strength to wrest the government from the corrupt and reckless party now in power? and, if so, by what means? It is confidently believed that the first question may be answered ir. the affirmative; that a large majority of the people are opposed to that party, and that united action is only needed to insure victory. But how can this be brought about 1 — Answer: by uniting in support of a man in whose character, principles, and abilities the whole na tion can repose confidence; who has a strong hold upon the hearts of the people: who is neither charged with nor suspected of sectionalism —a statesman of the cld school, of and con servative vie ws, high sense of national honor, and who will be .-as ready to render even-handed justice to other nations as prompt to exact it from them. It may be asked upon what “plattorm” is such a party to stand? If any “platform” is necessary it is believed, that the Crlttenden-amendment” will be found broad enough for the whole body of the nation to .-stand upon. But, after all, the public character the candidate for presidency, his prin ciples, public services, patriotism and abilities, are a better “platform” than any that could be nianu* lactured for the occasion. The people voted for General Washington because they had confidence in him ; not for any political confession of faith, creed, or promises he had made or subscribed to, which he would have scorned to do. It is not the “platform,” but the man, that the people vote for; it is the man and not the “platform,” that inspires confidence, and wins support. Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson needed no “platform” to insure them the support of their respective parties. Undoubtedly there is a growing conviction on the part of the people that the American interest and American labor should receive more of the foster ing care of the federal government than has been bestowed on them of late years; that the ballot-box must be purified, and its purity preserved i that a more intense national feeling should be cultivated and that the immigration of foreign paupers and criminals, who are almost instantly transformed into voters, and by whom our elections are often decided, sho*uld be prohibited. But for these and other salutairy reforms we must rely wholly upon the people themselves; though our candidate for the presidency in 1860 should be a man whose whole’public career affords a guarantee that, in bringing about these reforms, his co-operation would be most cheerfully given. Will you do me the favor to reply to this, sta ting how far you concur in, or dissent from the views I have expressed, and the suggestions I have thrown out; and also inform me what is the prevailing sentiment of the people in your vicinity so far as you are cognizant of it in regard to the organization of a Union party as suggested? I must also ask the favor of you to send me names and address of such prominent men in your county or State as will be likely to take an active and willing part in attaining the object proposed, as we hope you will. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, N. SARGENT. Place far Bachelors. A sprightly amusing American correspondent in Paris, thus describes the rage of kissing in “La Belle, France The almost universal custom of kissing in Paris seems at first singular to a stranger, coming from a country where the proprieties of life rarely per mit you to take a lady’s hand—much less to sa lute. In France, to kiss a lady with whom you are not intimate, on meeting her, is very common : especially is this the case,'if she is a married lady. Not only the members of the family, but all the guests, expect to salute the lady of the house on coming down in the morning. But though the modest American, may, perhaps, escape the cere mony on ordinary occasions, yet, on New Years morning it is imperative. On that day I came down to tny coffee about nine o’clock. 1 sat down quietly, bidding Madame l>on jour, as on ordinary occasions. In a lew moments she was at my elbow’ with : “Mods. 8., I am angry with you.” I expressed, of course, my regret, and ignorance of having given her any reason. “Ah 1” said she, “you know very well the rea son. It is because you did not embrace me this morning when you came down.” Madame was a lady of perhaps twenty-eight, with jet-black, glossy hair, and a clear, fair com plexion. She was very beautiful; had she been plain, I should have felt less embarrassed. She waited as though expecting me to atone for my neglect, but how could I, before the whole table ? I sat all this time trembling in my seat. At length Madame said: “Mons. R., embrassez moi."’ The worst had come. I arose tremblingly, put my white, bloodless lips, all greasy with butter and wet with coffee (for in my embarrassment I had dropped my napkin) to those of Madame. I his was my first French kiss.

A Card from Mr. Charles Dickers. Three and tvvenly years have passed since I en tered upon my present relations with the public.— They began when I was so young that I find them to have existed for nearly a quarter of a centu ry* Through all that time I have tried to be as faithful to the public as they have been to me.— It was my duty never to trifle with them or to deceive them, or to presume upon their favor, or do any thing with it but work hard and justify it.— I have alwavs r endeavored to discharge that duty. My conspicious position has often made me the subject of fabulous stories and unaccountable statements. Occasionally such things have chafed me, or even wounded me, but I have always accep ted them as the shadows inseparable from the light of my notoriety and success. I have never obtruded any such personal uneasiness of mine upon the generons aggregate of my audience. For the first time in my life, and I believe for the last, I now deviate from the principle I have so long observed, by presenting myself in my own journal in my own private character, and en treating all my brethren (as they deem that they have reason to think well of me, and to know that lam a mna who has ever been unaffectedly true to our common calling) to lend their aid to the dissemination of my pregnant words. Some domestic trouble of mine, of long standing, on which I will make no further remark than that it claims to be respected as being of a sacredly pri vate nature, has lately been brought to an arrange ment which involves no anger or ill-will of any kind, and the whole origin progress and surround ing circumstances of which have been throughout within the knowledge of my children. It is ami cably composed, and its details have but now to be forgotten by those concerned in it, By some means arising out of wickedness, out of folly, or out of inconceivable wild chance, or out of all three, this trouble has been made the •ccasion of misrepresentations most grossly false, most mon strous and most cruel—involving not only me, but innocent persons dear to my heart, and innocent persons of whom I have no knowledge, if indeed they have any existence—and so widely spread that 1 doubt if one reader in a thousand will perruse these lines, by whom some touch of the breadth of these slanders w ill not have passed like an un wolesome air. Those who know me and my nature need no assurance under my hand that such calumnies are as irreconcilable with me as they are, in this frantic incoherence, with one another. But there is a great multitude who know me thro’ my writings, and who do not know me otherwise ; and I can not bear that one ofthem should be left in doubt or hazard of doubt, through my poorly shrinking from taking the unusual means to which I now re sort of circulating the truth, I most solemnly declare, then—and this I do both in my own name and my wife’s—that all the lately whispered rumors touching the trouble at which I have glanced are abominably false, and that whoever repeats one ofthem after this denial will lie as wilfully and as foully as it is possible for any false witness to lie before heaven and earth. CHARLES DICKENS. A Colored Discourse. A correspondent of the knickerbocker, who writes from Mansfield, Ohio, sends the following “dis course,” for the entire authority of which he vouch es without reserve, having taken it down from the thick lips of the reverend orator himself.

Bowden is now in jail at this placo, and will be tried for commitment before Justices Lightnerand and Williams on to-morrow. The parties were friendly up to the time ot the cutting, as we learn, and all seemed to be shocked and surprised at the occurrence. We forbear comment. Liquor ! We would add, however, that four white men and one negro are now confined in our jail for murders committed within the short space of twelve months in Barbour county ! Appalling is the fact; and under such a state of things, it be hooves public justice and the vindication of personal security, that proper punishment should be meted out to the aggressors. We hope it may be speedily done in every case.

LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP AFRICA. New York, July B.—The steamship Africa has arrived at this port, with European dates to the 29th ult. She brings the following intelligence: Commercial News. Liverpool Cotton Market.— The sales of cotton in Liverpool for the week, amounted to 45,000 bales. The sales of Friday were 10,000 bales, off which speculators took 3,000 bales, and exporters 3,000 bales.

A recent fire at Dantzic consumed fifty five houses—the loss is estimated at one million thalers. Tlie Last Attempt to Assassinate Louis Na poleon. The Paris correspondent of the Liverpool Jour nal gives the following particulars of a late alleged attempt to assassinate the Emperor Napoleon at Fontainbleu: “The Emperor was riding slowly on horseback a little in advance of the rest of the party by whom he was accompanied. Suddenly his horse reared and shied at some unseen danger, and the Emper or, who is a first rate horseman, instantly aware, as if by presentment, of coming evil, threw himself to one side, just as a perfect volley was fired over himl The assassins were ten in number, all Ital ians ; four have been taken, while the remainder, up to the present moment have escaped. It is this latter fact which has caused that sudden ruffle amongst the Italians domesticated in Paris, and which the orders of the police rendered so strin gent and severe, together with the dismissal and disgrace of a certain Corsican chef de brigade of police, who hitherto has been a great favorite, both of which events have created talk and suspicion of the truth in Paris during the past few days. Of the reality of the attempt no doubt whatever exists; and the relators add that the Emperor’s horse was shot so severely in the neck that he died tho same evening. This is the tale current among the monied men at the Bourse, and believed by them in private while in public their cry is all against the whicked inventors of such mischievous lies.’’ How to Tell a Drunken Man. —lf you wish to asceitain whether a man is really in liquor, put tho word “municipality” in his mouth. If ho can shell that word out, pronounce it plain and dis tinct, he is sober enough to deliver a temperance lecture, take our word for it.
